Entrance signs painted
Board President Jim Carnal volunteered to paint the two Park Stockdale entrance signs after they became faded.
Christmas home judging
You better be ready because a panel of Christmas aficionados will scour the neighborhood Dec. 18 to make a list of the best decorated Christmas homes. Residents of the top three homes in each of three categories will be awarded one dozen donuts. The categories are: nativity, traditional and kids’ pick.
These homes look ready.
Diseased tree removed
The Park Stockdale Civic Association board of directors approved removal of a diseased ash tree in the playground after it dropped three limbs during recent windstorms.
John Karlik, a tree expert with the UC Cooperative Extension, said the tree was infested with carpentermoths.
Three neighboring trees that were leaning were also trimmed.
Bathrooms painted, pavilion patched
Jeremy Myers Painting painted both bathrooms and patched the sprinkler-damaged eaves and painted them last week.
Here are before and after photos.

Scores attend Halloween Spooktacular
Dinosaurs and princesses, superheroes and unicorns, more than 50 costumed trick or trunkers in all, enjoyed the Park Stockdale Civic Association’s Halloween Spooktacular Trunk or Treat and Carnival Friday, Oct. 27.
Seven volunteers decorated their car trunks into everything from a Las Vegas Raiders-themed ghoulish nightmare with skeletons and skeleton dogs to a spider’s cobweb littered with skulls and ghosts that costumed creatures had to brave if they wanted a treat.
The parking lot party included a dance competition, emceed by Melissa Martinez, followed by a costume parade.
Then the party moved into the hall for 13 carnival games and prizes run by volunteers from the Bakersfield High junior varsity baseball team, Toys for Tots and the Young Marines.
Board member Kiki Contreras masterminded and ran the event. Board member Ana Flores helped set up and board member Josh Saravia, and his wife Marilyn, decorated their car trunk for the candy distribution.
Teresa Bradburn, Anthony and Jessica Martinez,
Mariah Lopez, Jose Martinez, JV head baseball coach Dale Romero, coach Sammy Lona, Darlene Doughty, Amber Anderson, Erick Gutierrez and Marc Sandall also volunteered their time.
